#1004 of 1122 Bluetooth and a new version of the software by 4707 May 07, 2008 (1:46 pm)
I went to my dealer for my first inspection and they upgraded the Bluetooth software of my LR2. I have a Samsung SPH-a900 cell phone that was working perfectly well with the "old" software but refuses to work with the new one. The cell phone finds the Land-Rover and the Land-Rover finds the cell phone but the pairing does not occur.   I found a list of the cell phones that are supposed to work but my cell phone is not there anymore...it was there a couple of months back. It is a list however for the UK and Europe and does not include many of the cell phone models that we have here in Canada. Does anybody know of a list of American ( and Canadian ) cell phones that are supposed to work with the new version of the Bluetooth software now instaled in the LR2 ???                     Thank you all...

Replying to: 4707 (May 07, 2008 1:46 pm) I had exactly the same problem. My Blackberry 880 was working fine until the delare did a LR Bluetooth update.The phone would pair, I could make calls but they would keep cutting out intermittenlty. Finaly went back to delar last week, talked to the tech and we found out that the update was not loaded properly and it corrupted the Bluetooth module. Delear kept on telling me it was my phone ... not so....   They replaced the Bluetooth mudule with old softeware ( prior to updfate ) and all is werll now.   Here is link to list of phones from LR on their site for NA for LR 2. You can find it on LR.com under owners section - bluyetooth.   http://www.landrover.ca/assets/ca/en/Owners/About/NA_L359_Masterlist_060907_V1.4- - .pdf   One thing I have found about LR22 and Blue tooth is that the dlears not not very much aware of the technology. They have not been properly trained and something like a Bluetooth issue takes a lot of time and they get frustrated.....   I ended up doing all the research myself and then walked them through the process.   Hope this helps ! ps my delaer is in Montreal , Quebec.

#1007 of 1122 Recalls by rverginia May 18, 2008 (6:23 pm)
I took my LR2 HSE in for the first scheduled service at 7,500 miles. While there they told me they would take care of the sunroof issue (they did a total replacement), the seat belt re-routing, and the software update. That is where they found a problem. The car would not take the update and they found a short in the instrument cluster that caused it. A new instrument cluster is on backorder (or as my service advisor said "intergalactic backorder" because thay have absolutely no idea when it will be available. I have a loaner (2007 LR3) until then. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I am having them install the factory Hitch and wiring. Any comments? The accessory guide say's it's a 1 3/4" hitch, but the service advisor says it's a 2". Which is correct?

#1008 of 1122 Taking it in for the 6 month maintenance interval by yed19 May 20, 2008 (7:19 am)
Replying to: rverginia (May 18, 2008 6:23 pm) Reading the last few comments, seems funny.   I have had a great experience with the LR2 HSE so far. I bought it in November and will be taking it in for the 6 month interval. I have had it in the shop twice so far in those 6 months (one for the recall on the sunroof, and another as the oil was low). I was told by the service guy to check the oil often... They just refilled the oil. There is no leak or anything though, it was just low... new engine perhaps?   Both times I took in the car, I got a LR3 loaner (which seems kinda like driving a bus, if you ask me) so no real complaints with losing my LR2 for the few hours.   We will see if the software update will fix the problem with the bluetooth not working with my wifes Motorola Q.   I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone who doesn't live more than 100 miles away from a dealer. While you may have to take the car into a dealer mroe often than a Honda, its definately not a bad experience dropping off the LR2 and getting to drive a LR3 for a day.

Replying to: yed19 (May 20, 2008 7:19 am) Please understand - I really like my LR2 and miss driving it. With gas around here (Seattle area) at about $4.25, I traded the loaner LR3 in for a Jag X-Type. Gets much better mileage since I drive 50 miles a day. Service guy says "within thirty days, or so" on the new part.   My bluetooth worked great with my Moto E-815, but not so great with wife's LG-8350. We'll see how that goes.   Good luck on behalf of your instrument cluster. If your advisor tells you they are having trouble "getting the software update to take", beware!

Replying to: rverginia (May 24, 2008 6:16 pm) UPDATE: Since the instrument cluster failure is a lot more widespread than originally thought, the 30 day portion of the lemon law kicked in and my dealer has provided me with a brand new Stornaway Gray LR2 HSE, plus a complementary trailer package and roof rails. Gotta hand it to my dealer, not only did they put me in a loaner for the month, they really came through on the car. BTW - Sirius also waived the normal $75 fee to change to a different receiver, as well as the 1 of 3 count for us 'lifers'. Pretty nice! Big plug to Bellevue (WA) Land Rover / Jaguar for their handling of my situation.
#1011 of 1122 Re: Adaptive Lighting Problems [brownbag72] by arowe1 Jul 09, 2008 (10:51 am)
Replying to: brownbag72 (Oct 02, 2007 9:57 am) My wife is having the same issue with the warning light for the lighting package coming on. We purchased the LR2 about 2 1/2 months ago and have had the vehicle in the service dept twice to try and fix the problem with no success - although they said they fixed it both times.   The 1st time they said they changed out one complete light assembly, the 2nd trip they said they re-calibrated the system. Maybe 3 times is a charm.   Did you ever get yours fixed? If so, what did they do?   Thanks Replies to this message: brownbag72 (Jul 09, 2008 11:30 pm)

Replying to: arowe1 (Jul 09, 2008 10:51 am) I've brought mine in twice. Each time the service department said that they reloaded the software and it should be good to go. But, a few miles later as I'm heading home the warning light comes back on. The dealer told me that if the problem persisted to bring it back in and they would do something that takes about 6 hours. I haven't had the time to do this yet. I am stationed in Germany. So, I have to go to a German LR dealer about 30 minutes from my house. They don't offer loaner cars. And, I don't feel like walking around a mall for 6 hours. I wouldn't mind the lighting problem so much if that warning light would just stop flashing. If your dealer finds a fix, please keep me posted. Thanks.
